Chatting About Convenience Foods on Let’s Talk Live

Eating for “Convenience,” doesn’t have to be unhealthy. We’re all pressed for time, that’s nothing new nowadays. Some people don’t like to cook, so when I was on Let’s Talk Live recently, I shared some “convenience foods” that I pulled from the store that have good nutrients and are super easy to make.

Watch the full video here:

Here are a few of the foods I shared:

Healthy Choice Bakes and Top Chef: Not only are frozen single-serve meals convenient, but they are also portion controlled. These varieties are rated highly on their website by consumers in terms of taste, and are lower in sodium than some other frozen varieties.

Mixed Nuts and Dried Fruit: They’re fabulous “convenience foods” because they are nutrient rich and they taste delicious.

Microwaved Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes and winter squash can take a long time to cook in the oven. Many people don’t realize you can actually microwave them. It’s a healthy side in a matter of minutes!

What are some of your favorite “convenience” foods?
